Federica Peyrolo

Born in 1989 in Suse (Italy)

Federica Peyrolo, was born in 1989 in Suze, Italy, and graduated from the Accademia Albertina in Turin and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Le Mans.

Federica's work investigates a dual internal tension, with on the one hand a strong attachment to the past, to childhood memories and on the other hand the desire to free oneself from these in order to develop as an independent individual. In video, photography and installation, she expresses her wonder at the infinite variety of colours and shapes in the world but always on the edge of an existence in the shadow of disillusionment or the fear of disappearing in a phenomenon of absorption.

In 2015, Federica Peyrolo won the Nanjing International Art Festival prize, China and was selected for the Artefatto RESET prize in Trieste, Italy. She also participated in different residencies: In-Naturalia in Turin, Nhome in Rome, Transalp in Cuneo, Italy.

Winner in 2014 of the OFF Site open call art project in L'Aquila (Italy) presided by Veronica Santi, she exhibited the same year in the exhibition Flying Black Cow Utopia Club, part two at the Gallery of Dourven in Trédrez-Locquémeau, France in a project by David Michael Clarke. Her work « D » was presented at FRASQ 2013, an annual event initiated by Le Générateur, art and performance space in Gentilly, France.Federica Peyrolo is currently represented by Galleria Moitre in Turin.
